Family Law

• Child Support
  A: Approximately one month after your case is filed, the Court will set a "341 meeting." For many people, this is the first and last time that they will be required to visit the bankruptcy court. The 341 meeting is an occasion for the Trustee to ask you various questions. The Trustee will ask if you reviewed the petition, if the petition remains accurate, if you have filed all required tax returns, if you owe anyone child support, etc. In a Chapter 13, the Trustee will also determine whether your plan is feasible and pays the creditors who must be paid in your particular case. You will not be alone during this meeting; either Mr. Sosna or Mr. Huffstetler will be right by your side.
• Spousal Support
  A: There are various debts that are not discharged in a bankruptcy. These include child support and alimony payments, certain tax obligations, student loans, and other debts. If you have a question about whether a particular debt is dischargeable, please ask about it at your free consultation.
